Postoperative Morbidity and Mortality After Cardiac Surgery

Overview

The local database results from a joint initiative of anesthesic, cardiology and cardiac surgery departements.Its purpose is to record in an exhaustive fashion all the interventions of cardiac surgery performed under extracorporeal circulation in adults at Bichat hospital.This database includes the preoperative characteristics of the patients, the type of surgery, the post-operative complications and the in-hospital mortality. The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate in-hospital morbidity and mortality for all types of cardiac surgery interventions and to analyze it according to the characteristics of the patients and the type of intervention.

The operative mortality is a key point of the risk-to-benefit ratio analysis before considering cardiac surgery. Operative risk evaluation in a single surgical center is a part of medical care quality assessment. It must be interpreted in the light of the local specificities, in particular the characteristics of the patients and the types of surgery.

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate in-hospital morbidity and mortality according to the characteristics of the patients and the type of intervention. study population : inclusion criteria : patient 18 years or older with legal capacity, patients with non-objection to record his/her medical data during hospitalization. Methods: this is an observational prospective and monocentric study. The main objective is to report in-hospital mortality for all types of cardiac surgery performed in Bichat hospital . The secondary objectives are :1) to collect post-operative complications such as hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events or surgery site infections; 2) to analyze mortality rate and post-operative morbidities according to the type of surgery and the main patients' characteristics . 3) to calculate validated and currents risk score such as EuroSCORE I and II for each patient.
